As far as i have understood "Hiarcs 8 beta" is the only version "publicly" available, and it has been explained by a tester, who could eleborate on this, that this unfortunate leak of a beta version is the cause of these trade offers, so i would venture to say that it is that version people are referring to when they offer these unfortunate and illigal trades. Personally i don't understand why people trade since owning the software to me is essential, i simply need to have the original, not to mention the moral aspects and the fact that the more economic support you give the hardworking programmers the better software they are likely to produce in the future.
